The past couple of conversations I’ve had with my Coach the topic of meditation has come up. Deep down I know that meditation would make for a happier existence, but I just haven’t done it.
I guess I just thought it needed to be some sort of ritual. Like I needed to be on a mat with some inscence burning and some cd of chanting playing. Well I was wrong. My coach suggested that I just stop every day and chill. Just stop. The deal is that all of the massive amount of thoughts banging around in my mind are all about the future or the past. So the idea is to just stop and fucus on my breathing. Stop and see if I can feel my heart beat. He even suggested that I get up early enough every once in a while and watch a sunrise and thank myself for taking the time. When I’m doing any of those things – I am NOT thinking about the future or the past. So I’ve been meditating and it’s been great.
Here’s the analogy I thought of. My mind is like a snow globe after it’s all shook up. All the flakes are my thoughts about too many truly pointless things. Meditation lets the flakes fall and it gives me time to just be.
